Re: MMV controlling DMX PARs/Light Bar?

Any chance I can test out this pre release Eric? I really want to try to integrate data output from Magic to Beyond for lasers and lighting.


Thanks

Re: Global Value Out

Is there any way to export the numerical value from a module? I run lasers as well and would like to use the value to control settings in beyond.

Global Value Out

Is there a way to export the value of a global out as a midi value that could be picked up by another software?

Re: Spout Receiver Causing Trails To Not Work

Figured out it has to be something with that specific composition in smode. I made a new compo in smode and tried it and it works. I will dig deeper into what in the composition is causing that. It does cause a glitch though that prevents trails from working correctly after trying to use them on tha...

Re: Spout Receiver Causing Trails To Not Work

Instead of creating trails that layer, it like basically stutters. Here is an image of what it looks like when I render the video out from Smode and then bring it in and add trails.

Spout Receiver Causing Trails To Not Work

I am having an issue where when I am using a spout receiver input it is causing the trails module to not work as normal for any of the layers until restarting the program. Anyone else have this issue or know of a fix?

Project QuickNav

So I think it would be really helpful to have the ability to move around the sometimes crowded projects better. I was thinking ideally you would use Alt+MSWhl Up and Down to zoom in and out on the project nodes and even maybe Alt+ MsLeft Click and Hold to drag around on the projects. If that makes s...

How do I do a time based effect?

Is it possible to setup a time delayed effect with expressions? What I am trying to accomplish is have an effect module be delayed until a certain point in the current scene.

How to stop a parameter at a specified value?

I know I am just missing an easy way to do this and I tried finding it in the forums. What I need to know is how to simply stop and hold a value at a specified point. For example I am trying to increase the Z on the translate module and have it stop once it gets to 2.5. How do I achieve this and is ...

Re: Using Scene 1 as an input on Scene 2 causes black box

Eric,

Thanks for your always speedy reply. I figured it out after messing around with it. It was a blend that was left open that I overlooked. Caused a slight shadow of the full scene frame ;)


Thanks Again!

I would like to know if anyone knows how to cause 3D manipulation derived from another layer mask or something similar. An example would be like the bottom being an image/video layer and the top causing a 3D ripple or similar effect. An effect that would in turn manipulate the actual video layer by ...
